Last Seen is relaunched! Directed by Judith Giesberg at Villanova University, Last Seen recovers stories of families separated by slavery. Search thousands of ads taken out by former slaves, help transcribe them, & see how educators use them in the classroom. Kudos to Agile's Anneliese Dehner for the new look & navigation.

We're delighted to announce the launch of the Louisiana Slave Conspiracies website, which Agile's Bill Kennedy and Quinn Dombrowski have worked on for the past several years under the direction of Bryan Wagner at the University of California, Berkeley.

LSC a collaborative research project dedicated to preserving, digitizing, transcribing, translating, and analyzing manuscripts related to two slave conspiracies organized at the Pointe Coupée Post in the Spanish territory of Louisiana in 1791 and 1795. The website uses a custom facing-page display to present French and Spanish manuscripts alongside original transcriptions and English translations, permitting users to search, browse, and navigate among documents and interactive maps derived from a database tracking persons, places, and assertions.
